' TIRE VALVE.
Application filed May 8,
The present invention relates to tire valves of the type set forth in my co-pending application, Serial No. 84:788. I
The invention has for its principal object the provision of a complete tire valve adapted to t'unction in the same manner as the valve set forth in said co-pending application, with the provision of means for preventing any leakage from taking place during the period of inflation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a complete tire valve which may be positively set to prevent leakage during inflation, and which may also be setafter inflation, to hold the air in the tire without depending upon the nonreturn valve.
Another object of theinvention is to provide a removable valve, which not only carries outthe above objects, but which may be applied to usual types of tire valve bodies.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a removable valve which may be applied to a valve body which is devoid of external threads, such as the valve body set forth in the Patent No. 1,570,397.
Still other objects and advantages of my invention will appear hereinafter.
I have illustrated my invention by the accompanying drawings, in which;
Figure 1 is an enlarged detail vertical section of the main part of a typical embodiment of my invention; said part being hereinatter known as the core.
liigure 2 is a view in vertical section of a valve body or stem particularly adapted to receive thecore shown in Fig. 1; this view showing the said core in place when in the act of inflating a tire.
Figure 3 is a view in vertical section of a common type of tire valve body to which is applied a modified form 01 the core shown in Fig. 1. i
In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, there is provided the core 1, which is of elongated form and provided with a central bore 5, having laterally opening ports 6 adjacent the inner end of the bore. Said bore is provided internally with a seat 7 and a valve 8, adapted to contact with the seat to prevent outward fiow of air. A spring 9 yieldably holds the valve seated but permits the valve to be depressed by inflowing air. Said seat, valve and spring comprises that which may be termed a nonreturn valve, as n the case of the valve set forth in the sald copending application.
1926. Serial no. 107,691.
The core body is provided with an elongated lower portion 10 terminating at the inner end in a conical metal valve or core 11. Said portion terminates at the upper end in another conical surface 12. The core body is provided with an annuar enlargement or knurled nut 14.
The valve body or stem 2, shown particularly in Fig. 2, is provided with a smooth outer surface 15, devoidof threads. Adjacent the outer end of the valve body there is provided an enlarged internally threaded bore 16. From bore 16, a small air passage 17 leads inwardly to the interior ot the inner tube (not shown) to which the valve body .isapplied. At the juncture oi the bores 16 and 17, respectively, there is pro vided a suitable seat 19.
The conical lower end 11 of the core body is adapted to seat upon seat .19 to positively prevent escape of air outwardly through the air passage 17. In order to hold the core in proper relation to the valve body 2, I
provide a casing 20, which has an internally threaded bore 21, m which the core body is screw threaded before the knurled nut is permanently secured to said core body. The knurled nut is caused to become a substantially integral part of the core, so that by turning the knurled nut the core body is turned and may accordingly be moved inwardly or outwardly of the casing 20 a limited distance.
The casing 20 is practically a removable extension to the valve stem or body 2, and is accordingly externally threaded at the inner end, as at 16, so that it may be screw threaded into the bore 16, of the valve body, as shown particularly in Fig. 2. The inner end of said casing is provided with an open bore 23, slightly larger than the elongated part of the core body, so that the core body may be turned without the corresponding turning of the casing 20. The bore 23 terminates in a seat 12 on which the conical surface 12 of the core body 1 may seat.
In assembling the complete valve shown in Fig. 2, in the act of manufacturing same, the core body is screw threaded in the casing 20. The knurled nut is secured to the core body in such position that the core body may be moved relative to the casing, a slightdistance in either direction. The externally threaded inner end of the casing 20 is then screw threaded into the tire valve body. Said casing should set quite tight in the valve body to prevent leakage, and a gasket 24 may be: used between the casing and the valve body, as a further assurance against leakage at this point.
When the tire is inflated, the knurled nut is turned so that the core body is turned on its threads and is advanced in the casing until the inner conical end of the coreseats on the seat 19. Thus air is held permanently in the tube; and cannot escape outwardly through the air passage 17. The knnzrled art in the core body is so positioned that t will not intcrtere with the seating action ust described.
\Vheni it is desired to inflate the tire, the valve core must be unseatedi from seat it); This is accomp-lished by turning the knurled nut in the proper direction to cause the valve core to ascend Hl i' lIll) in the threaded Such. turning is bore oi the casing 20"; continued until the upper si'i-r'tace l2 strikes the seat 12 on the casing 20.. In this position the core body prevei is escape of air along the tlrreads of the valve core. While the bore oi the core body and the air pa ssag'e o l the valve body are in conu nui i'on, air cannot escape because oil nonreturn valve, which prevents outward escape of air. Thus, during inflation, lea-large via the er;- ternal 'tilirc'ads oi thecore body is pro-ventral, and escape' o l air from: the pass-(r ge i7 is prevented by the check valve.
HIGH inflation is complete, the knurled nut is turned (prickly so that the valve core descends in the casing until lower end cranes intoair' llOltllHg contact with seat 19. It at any time the valve core l t f0lll$ doi ective', it may be replaced with a new one. This done by removing the casing from the valve body, removing the valve core from the casing, fitting the casing with a new valve core and screw threading the casing; into the-v'alve-l'iody again.
In the term shown in Fig. 3, there is provided a core body 26', having upper and lower seating surfaces, respectively. Abow the upper seating suri' ace there is provided an air cap 20 corresponding to the casing 20.. Said cap loosely encompasses the: core body and is internally threaded, as at 27. for attachn'i-ent to a standard tire valve body 5281 The core is externally threaded, as at 29; toscrew into the said standard valve body Whenthe parts are asseinl'iledas shown. Inflation is accomplished by turning the valve core until the upper seating surface abuts the cap 2O to prevent outward escape of air.
It will be apparent now that I have provided an improved tire valve movable to prevent escape of air by any threaded portion during inflation, and also movable to hold the air after inflation without the aid termediate externally threaded portion tosaid core body surrounding said space, a
head above said externally threaded portion,
an integral annular enlargement to said core body below said externally threaded portion; said body provided with an air course continuing downwardly from said valve space and opening outwardly of the core body below s id annular enlargement; and further provided with an outer seating; end beyond the opening of said air course; said core body being composed oi? twopiec'es nonre-volubiy joined to each other intermediate of said head and said intermediate ext-er nally tl'ireaded portion, respectively, and a cap-like casing having an open lower end providing a downwardly opening cavity, an upper closure wall to said cap provided with an internally threaded bore of smaller diameter than said avity; said cap-like casing fitted to said core body by inter-engagemen-t of the threads of the externally threaded portion of the core body with the threads of the internally thread-ed bore of the caplilce casing; the lower portion of said core body extending outwardly through the open end of the cap-like casing with said. annular enlargement ;li'sposed in said cavity; said annular enlargement to said core body and the said closure wall of said casing providing corresponding seating surfaces for the purpose set Forth; said cap-likecasing provided with means for a'ttac'lnnenttoa tire valve body;
